   One problem (that isn't strictly unique to the Fediverse, but appears pretty common here vs. centralised platforms), is that because plenty of people have alts, if you mute or block someone you may find yourself later interacting with them again under a different name or guise without knowing.
   I've had a paranoia a few times that I've boosted or followed someone I'd previously designated "fairly toxic", though thankfully it's been a false alarm in all but one case.
   Nothing to be done, though 🤷

      @cathal Key-based identity helps solve that to a degree but it does rely on people being honest about which accounts are their alts, which a bad actor is not going to do.
